Common Core is spreading through the nation like, well, a computer virus and The Washington Post explains how it happened.
The article is a paean for the sickness. One would expect that, however, in an organ of the feudal establishment.
Common Core is the educational standard that is being imposed quickly and without much discussion. It contains a strong whiff of Orwellian indoctrination.
The reason why it spread so quickly and quietly as per the Post is money. Lots and lots of money, namely that of Bill Gates, whose significant technological accomplishments might be the Blue Screen of Death (BSoD) and, ironically, our malware epidemic.
If you should be wondering why the governor or state representative or state senator who sings hymns to conservatism and local governance is not fighting this garbage, now you know the trail to follow.
